Honor MagicBook (2020) first impressions

Honor is finally releasing its MagicBook laptops in the UK and Europe, with a compact design, plenty of ports, and an AMD Ryzen 5 at the heart of it. Dom took a quick look at the new laptop ahead of the company's MWC launch event, and here's what he thinks so far.

the reason the 15" version has a smaller battery is that they reserved some space for an extra 2, 5" hard disk, which odly will only be available in later versions, because right now it doesn´t come with the connection preinstalled.

3:40 The bigger laptop gets slightly lower battery since it will be less portable if it gets too hefty. Besides, the USB C charging gets it up fast enough. Hence.

So regarding battery life, my train of thought here is, that they went the route of a High-school / Uni user, where you would want to carry a smaller size (the 14, with 1.3 *something Kilos) but have much more battery life, rather than the 15" (more Kilos and less battery).
Nonetheless, both look great, I will go for a 14" if my budget allows it! LOL
(Also, why not do a 13 and a 16, where they would be a 13.3" and a 15.6" where the screen sizes would've been more suitable to aspect ratios of 1080p panels?)

I am almost about to hit the "Pay Now" on one of these due to the great review but I have just one question. I have seen that this carries a 256GB M.2 NVME SSD and wonder if this is upgradeable? I have not seen any comments on notes to say whether this is soldered like the ram is. Thanks!

How does it work with programs like Photoshop or lightroom??

[sanskarpawar]

Does it has more than 1 ssd or sata port is there?

What is the difference between the matebook 14D and magicbook 14

[breydenchuah]

is this latest versuon available in grey color?

[ahmedwael]

Is it any different from the matebook d14?

[ajithkumman]

It has an expandable ssd slot that's why it has a lesser battery capacity

[AbuHajarAlBugatti]

Why the lenghty video? its just a Matebook D with the Name Honor slapped on it. even the battery issues is literally the same. Honor is a digitally marketed brand of Huawei Group.

[glasss]

You're more likely to carry the 14" with you so you need more battery life in that, what's so odd about it?

[bennyvo]

Hi mate, does magicbook have the backlight keyboard?

[adam-xxir]

There is no silent H in pronunciation of Huawei. Just say the H sound/. (**not wah)
Hungary. Hunger. Hunter. Examples of H sounds. Not W sound.
